[Resolved] Killcam
« on: 28 04, 2012, 07:47:53 pm »
Adding a killcam would be nice.
Instead of just staring at the turf you're spawning in, or staring at yourself dead, you'll view the killer!
It would allow people to see where someone killed them, for example if you get sniped from on top of a roof, you won't be clueless as to where you got sniped from.

If you commit suicide, it will show yourself
If you're killed by someone, it will show the killer
If a car kills you somehow, it will say you're roadkill.

This could also be used to take pictures for reports AFTER you die because in the cam it will show the killer having stars, your body, and everything surrounding him.
It is the PERFECT opportunity to take a screenshot for a report!

I have scripted it and the script will be sent to Arran


Here are some pictures of what it looks like.

SUICIDE:




KILLED:


DEATH BY CAR: --NOTE, this is just for bugged vehicle kills. I KNOW PARK KILLING IS DISABLED.


DETAILS
There are no debug errors.
It has been tested for:

  • Multiple kills
  • Multiple kills + suicide
  • Suicide
  • Text
  • Bugged vehicle kills
  • Killing inside interiors
  • Killer disconnecting while killcam is showing
Text fades in/out
Camera fades in/out

Would maybe only be useful in LV, anywhere else you dont have to wait to respawn, you just appear straight away at the hospital, but it's a nice idea

It would be useful to report DMers as well. Read the stuff under the pictures.

Huh, you have to wait at hospitals. Unless you're VIP.

Good idea but if someone sniping and doesn't want anyone knows his location to get him. So you have to take care and search for the sniper guy your-self insteed of getting his location easly.
Neutral.

In that case, it will help to report him easly.

Snipers are suppose to shoot, and then run to a new spot. Not camp in one location...

So it will prevent people camping and snipers have to change their spots 1+

Not all. Some like to change location and some turfers staying in a safe location and sniping all the time from it. And no one will know where he is.
So you can search for him while taking care.

And what if they don't like to change it ? There is no rule saying "Don't camp while sniping".

"Don't camp while sniping".

The rule says "Don't camp" that means u NEVER can camp...

"12. Do not stand around outside a busy place like a police station or hospital."

Busy places like : Jail spawn , LSPD , hospitals.

It's the same in CoD. Once a sniper kills you, you know where he is. It's up to him to move to a new spot.

Camping keeps being a "noob" tactic, so this would be useful for remove that "noob" tactic, that its not even useful since you can see everybody on map.
